The UJC Dornbirn is now inviting you to the judo taster course again.
Dornbirn. Starting this week, interested children, young people and adults will once again have the opportunity to get a taste of the sport of judo. “The first units can be attended completely without obligation and free of charge, so that children and parents as well as those interested can get a first impression of the sport of judo,” emphasizes UJC chairman Reinhold Böhler.
Exciting sport with positive side effects
UNESCO confirms judo as the best starting sport for children and young people between the ages of 4 and 21. Although this sport is a duel sport, the basic rules are respect and responsibility towards the partner. “With judo, children develop their strengths, speed, flexibility, coordination, reflexes, concentration, balance, personality as well as self-confidence and their knowledge of the body,” explains Böhler.
The beginners course for young people and adults always takes place on Tuesdays in the SPZ gym (Schulgasse 40), from 7:45 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. Training started last week. The beginners course for children, which always takes place on Fridays in the Dornbirn Olympic Center (Höchsterstraße 82) from 3:15 p.m. (arrival) to 5:00 p.m., starts for the first time this Friday, September 22nd.
The beginners course offers, among other things, the joy of movement, strength and fitness, responsibility and respect for the opponent, self-control and discipline, and the young judokas learn how to fall properly and fight according to clear rules.
“Girls and boys aged six and over are welcome and a T-shirt and gym shorts or jogging trousers are sufficient as basic equipment. Of course, parents are also invited to stay and get an idea of our sport and training,” concluded Böhler. (cth)
